BiLLy
This is a beautiful story tht touches my heart everytime i read this...
God... chose things the world considers foolish....1 Corinthians 1:27 NLT
Writing about his time as a counselor at a teen Bible camp, Tony Campolo says, "Teenage boys have a tendency to pick on some unfortunate child. That summer it was 13-year-old Billy, a child who couldn't walk or talk right. When the children from his cabin were assigned to lead devotions, they voted Billy in as the speaker. It didn't seem to bother him. He dragged himself up to the pulpit amid sneers and snickers, and it took him a long time to stammer, "Je-sus loves… me… and… I… love Je-sus." There was stunned silence, and when I looked around there were boys with tears streaming down their cheeks. We'd done many things to try to reach these boys, but nothing had worked. We'd even brought in famous baseball players whose batting averages had gone up since they started praying, but it had no effect.
It wasn't until a special needs child declared his love for Christ that everything changed. I travel a lot and it's surprising how often I meet people who say, 'You probably don't remember me. I became a Christian at a camp where you were a counselor, and do you know what the turning point was for me?' I never have to ask. I always know I'm going to hear - Billy!"
The Bible says, "God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise" (1 Cor 1:27,28). So when you find yourself focusing on what you can't do, remember His "power works best in [your] weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT). Just do what you can, and God will do the rest! He'll crown your efforts with success.
PS: The marvelous things God can do....

Slumdog Millionaire
Ok..here is something i would like to share about my fav movie Slumdog Millionaire....and Religion Wars...
No doubt about it - Slumdog Millionaire is a film that people have taken notice of. As the winner of 4 Golden Globe awards and nominee of 10 Academy awards, it has caused mixed feelings across the globe - folks seem to either love it or hate it.
I guess the love comes from the 'rags to riches' storyline that intrigues all of us who occasionally daydream about getting on a game show like Who Wants to be a Millionaire and making enough serious bank to never worry about finances again.
Or perhaps the semi-worship of Slumdog lies in the 'boy finds girl at all costs' sort of thing. After all, doesn't every guy want to rescue a lady in distress? Isn't there a desire to be valued and liberated in the heart of every woman?
So yeah, cool plot line, action, adventure, romance - and (in my mind) perhaps a more deserving winner than The Curious Case of Benjamin Button , a.k.a. 'Forrest Gramps.'
Then there are the haters of Slumdog Millionaire. Why? Well it really isn't a film thing, plot thing, or even an acting thing.
It's a religious thing. Slumdog apparently portrays Hindus and Muslims in a 'negative' light. There are scenes of religious riots in the slums of India where people are killed in the name of a conviction... and it appears that this doesn't settle well on either side of the 'my god can beat up your god' conflict that rages all over the planet even as you are reading this.
I have a friend who tells me all the time that the world would be better off without religion. That the bad parts of religion outweigh the good and it is simply a power play for the powerful to control the weak.
And I agree. Religion wars are the shame of planet earth and religion is simply mankind's unsuccessful attempt to earn back a right relationship with the Creator God of the Universe.
That's why Jesus Christ was so harsh with the religious people of His time. Check out His view of the folks who used the name of God to chase their own agenda:
"What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people's faces. You won't go in yourselves, and you don't let others enter either.
"What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn that person into twice the child of hell you yourselves are!
"What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore the more important aspects of the law - justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.
"What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs -beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people's bones and all sorts of impurity. Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness.
"Snakes! Sons of vipers! How will you escape the judgment of hell?" (Matthew 23:13-15;23-24;27-28;33).
What do you think? Picking up Jesus' disgust with religious hypocrisy? Which is exactly why Jesus came to earth to fulfill the most difficult truth in the universe: one must be perfect to enter heaven.
Not religious, not good, not even a decent person. God's standard is perfection, which is why our attempt to reconcile with God through religion will never work.
But here is the best part. Jesus lived a perfect life to earn a way for us to go to heaven. He paid the ultimate price on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead to prove to the world that He is God. All we need to do is trust in the Person of Jesus Christ to take us to heaven on His merit and not ours.
In other words, Biblical Christianity is all about a relationship, not a religion. I know we get lumped in with all the religions of the world but hopefully you now know that every other faith belief is about 'doing' - do this, do that, and you *might* make it to heaven. Christianity is all about 'done' - Jesus has already paid it all and all people on earth can obtain eternal life simply by trusting in Him for salvation.
In a way, Christianity is just like Slumdog Millionaire. Jamal could have worked his whole life and never earned a million dollars but because he had the right knowledge and acted on it, he received the reward as a gift.
God wants you to go from spiritual rags to riches. Put your faith in Christ for salvation, and you'll never know spiritual poverty again!

The Man Who Cant Be Moved
Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag. I'm not gonna move,
Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand,
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am,
Some try to hand me money they don't understand,
I'm not... broke I'm just a broken hearted man,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on when I've been in love with you...
Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.
Policeman says son you can't stay here,
I said there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year,
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows,
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.
Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
People talk about the guy
Whos waiting on a girl...
Oohoohwoo
There are no holes in his shoes
But a big hole in his world...
Hmmmm
Maybe I'll get famous as man who can't be moved,
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news,
And you'll come running to the corner...
Cos you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved...
Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag not I'm not gonna move.
